February '22

Call and work with Alcom electronics during the most severe shortage and allocation of electronic components, modules, displays, boards and systems.

As an electronics professional and if you are not living under a rock, we are all confronted with a disruption of the supply chain that is in the midst of a tornado like we’ve never experienced one. Simply said, “There haven’t been enough electronic parts to go around and no one is safe from the global shortage”. Growth in the electronics industries has been accelerated by the global pandemic and greatly challenged by global chip shortages and many raw materials, increased transport, logistics costs etc. We are aware that some suppliers refuse to take telephone calls from their end customers, are no longer accepting new purchase orders, are quoting 70 weeks+ lead times, have multiplied the unit price significantly or are simply not quoting anymore.

At Alcom electronics we listen to your needs and try to

  • Deliver your original order in time by escalation management at all levels within our franchised suppliers’organisations.
  • Understand your minimum volume requirements to keep your production lines running
  • Ensure the supply chain in case of instability, disruption and end-of life programs
  • Co-work with your design teams in finding technology-equivalent solutions that are available at shorter lead times
  • Cross reference your approved part numbers by fit-and- function equivalent parts available within days or weeks
  • Provide alternate Second source products
  • Provide competitive quotes for products available on the Spot Market-original products & brands
  • Co-think how a customer embedded concept can be re-spinned using available strategic components, modules, boards or displays.
  • Switch our customers to the newest technologies since we foresee more problems of older generation technologies

At Alcom electronics we understand that many of our customers might be disappointed due to the overall situation, however rest assured that:

  • Our teams are trained to try solving issues keeping the end solution in mind
  • We search over the entire value chain for efficient and flexible solutions-from an innovation, technology or logistics point of view
  • Safety, security and reliability remain our priority in crisis situations
  • We minimize the today’s impact of floating price agreements
  • We have a small and agile enough organization to adapt and react quickly
  • We make the increasingly complex electronics supply chain more accessible to small, medium enterprises and big corporations alike

Tackling the shortage is challenging and there is no easy way to get around it when everybody is in the same boat and we encourage our customers to:

  • Talk to the Alcom electronics team and find out which components or boards can be best selected for existing, a new or re-spin design and get these in time at competitive pricing.
  • Ask your Alcom electronics team to provide samples of alternative products growing the capabilities and offerings
  • Place your orders early, turn your future visibility from forecast to running orders for the entire 2022 and even 2023.
  • Adapt your lead time indicators within your own systems

Despite the current shortages and related challenges, ASK an expert and call Alcom electronics because :

  • Alcom is there as your go-to-source providing Specialism, Knowledge and Design-in expertise by in-region Manufacturer Certified Sale & Application teams providing local support and supply chain management. We help innovators bringing your next big idea to market.
  • You need a dedicated expert team to support your engineering developments and expedite time to revenue providing specialized and complimentary solutions
  • You can connect through Alcom with our suppliers’ innovative products with ease
  • We listen also for non-sales related product, design-in and application questions
  • We add value by offering more services, features and innovative solutions with the end application in mind.
  • We minimize the hurdles on the way to reality from inception of a new idea to its final production on the factory floor.
  • We combine multiple products groups by matching technologies in Electronic Components, Modules, Displays, Board level & Integrated System Solutions

In summary, demand continues to far outstrip supply while inventory of products currently have fallen to a “history record low level”. The main bottlenecks are in the needs for fab capacity, materials and assembly, test and packaging capacity…all can only be fixed in the medium/long run. If you are currently facing a big challenge and you feel that nobody is there to support YOU? We realize you suffer from the current market conditions, it is tough for all of us. Get in contact with Alcom electronics. Our team is always ready to listen! And YES, we value the relationship with all our customers. We do whatever we can to assist you and look forward in hearing your voice.
